In larger organizations, the number of groups a user is a member of may exceed the limit that Azure Active Directory will add to a token. 150 groups for a SAML token, and 200 for a JWT.
Qlik Cloud does not read the groups into the ID token returned by Azure, but instead will fetch the groups for the user from the MS Graph API (a maximum of 1000 groups is fetched).
The groups are fetched from the following endpoint and nested groups are not supported.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/user-list-memberof
However, please note that if sending only specific groups to Qlik Sense is needed (and not all groups assigned to the user in Azure), then you will have to use the IdP type "ADFS" to read attributes from the ID token and use roles in Azure instead of groups to pass only the wanted groups.

Do we have an idea if this is something Qlik will be solving in the future?
Hello @jmaynard
This is being worked on as an improvement, but we do not have an estimate on when.
Hi,
How does this limitation affecting hybrid deployment (on premises and Qlik Sense SaaS) with Azure AD in cloud and local AD configuration?
Is there a same limitation apply to on-premises AD?
Thank you!
James Wong
I created a case on the support site. We were informed a couple of weeks ago this was resolved.
Everything we have tested so far confirms that it is resolved.
@jmaynard That is correct, this has now been updated with most recent information.
@Damien_V what, specifically, has been updated?
The initial limitation was 150-200 groups read from the ID token returned by Azure.
The current limitation is 1000 groups read from the Microsoft Graph API.
Reading from the Graph API also solves the issue that some Azure AD groups were coming in as guid instead of actual group names.
@Damien_V is it possible to list all groups from Qlik-Cli command?
I tried this command qlik.exe group ls but just listed 20 groups. How to list 1000 groups?
Hello @makunii
Please direct this question to our forum: Qlik Sense Integration, Extensions, and APIs. You will have access to a wider audience (support engineers, partners, and customers).
All the best,
